Check In

Check-In for all competitors in the IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie will take place on:

Friday 29 April between 3pm - 5pm

Saturday 30 April between 10am – 3pm

Check-In area is located at the Glasshouse, Clarence Street Port Macquarie. It is compulsory for all athletes to Check-In during these times. No competitor will be accepted after 3pm on Saturday 30 April.

We cannot be responsible for late arrivals so allow for mishaps when making travel arrangements.

You must show identification to register – i.e. Driver’s Licence, Passport etc. and also bring your Triathlon Australia membership card or documentation.

When checking-in, please do not take your bike into the queue as this congests the area and makes it dangerous for other competitors.

Competitor Race Bib

Wearing your race bib is COMPULSORY for the RUN leg for Individuals and Team runners. Your number must be clearly visible. If you plan to use an elastic race number belt, then, it will be necessary to ensure the complete race number is displayed. Competitors must ensure that their torso is covered throughout the cycle and the run. You must not fold, cut or manipulate your race number in any way.

Athlete ID Wristband

Your ID wrist band must be worn at all times as this will be essential to gain entry to competitor restricted areas. There will be volunteers on hand to secure your wristband before you leave the check-in area. This is your means of gaining entry to Transition to rack your bike pre-race and to collect your gear and bike after the race. All three-team members must wear the ID band.

Street Gear Tent

Street Gear Drop off will be located at Swim Start, Hastings River, Food for Less Car Park from 5.00am - 8.00am. Please ensure your bag is clearly labeled.

Your Bike Pump will also be required to be dropped off at the Street Gear Drop Off. No pumps are to be left within the transition area.

Your Street Gear bag will then be transported to the finish precinct and will be able from the recovery area post finish.

In the case you do not finish and need to access your Street Gear bag, please show your athlete I.D wristband to security at the athlete exit point into recovery. Please be patient as volunteers will endevour to have your Street Gear bag available as soon as possible once transported.

Cut Off Times

All times below are from individual's start time. Your start time will begin from when you cross the timing mat at the entry to swim start.

Swim – 1 hour 10 mins. Any remaining team cyclists in transition will be sent out onto the cycle course at this time. Cycle – 5 hours 15mins from the start time. Any cyclists unable to reach this cut-off will be collected by event sag wagons. Any remaining team runners in transition will be sent out onto the run course at this time.

Withdrawal

If you withdraw from the race prior to race day please inform the ‘Drop Out Clerk’ located at the Information Desk and return your timing chip – if you do not return your timing chip you will incur a $150 charge for a replacement. This is very important to ensure all competitors are accounted for and we know you are all safe.

Bike Check Out

Athletes may remove their bikes only after the last cyclist has completed the Bike course. We expect Transition to open approximately 1.30pm – 5.00pm. Please note that after 5.00pm Transition will be unsecure and bikes will not be held accountable by the event organisers. Any person that removes their bike over the Transition fencing will face disqualification. Any competitor not complying with this procedure will be reported to officials for possible disqualification.
